Take a trip to Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro bids you welcome from the moment you beach at its picturesque harbour, spotting white sandy beach and soaring mountains. This gives the city its befitting name of “Cidade Maravilhosa”, which is Spanish word for “Marvellous City”. This city is the second largest in Brazil and holds lots of fun spots that any tourist should never pass by.

Rio De Janeiro is home to one of the deepest cultures on our planet and has been Brazil’s number one tourist city for the last 20 years

The people of Rio are lively and exciting! It would be hard to not have fun in the great city of Rio De Janeiro. When you bring your yacht to the shores of Rio De Janeiro you will find sandy beaches, extravagant resorts, and the statue, “Christ The Redeemer.”

Rio De Janeiro has been a major tourist attraction for 20+ years and for good reason! The city has a great beach suited for surfers and family alike. Rio’s long sandy coast is generously populated by volley-ballers, surfers, and your every day average families looking to have some fun in the sun. Rio has a great climate with beautiful sunny days; sure to make your ocean sporting and beach surfing events comfortable and exciting.

Make sure to pack appropriately

If visiting Brazil make sure you pack properly as the country is known for it’s hot summer days and dipping temperatures in the evening. This means packing lots of summer shorts and warm hoodies to wrap up in at night. The website Megcor carries guides on packing for holidays that I found useful. However, remember you are only visiting the country for a short stay! Do not over-pack, to me this is worse than under-packing. At least when you under-pack you can pick up new cheap clothes. Over packing will leave you with a heavy excess luggage bill.

Rio Resorts And Their History

Between the best beach on the planet and the incredible resorts on shore you will have a hard time being bored in Rio! Ever been on a vacation where you seemingly found yourself wandering around looking for something to do? Rio has to be the most difficult place to do that in. There’s almost always something going on in Rio. They have hosted both the World Cup and the Olympic Games in Rio. Sold out resorts for every major sporting even held in Rio resulted in extravagant resorts with countless amenities. Each resort in Rio offers its own unique twists and events sure to keep you entertained for the entire duration of your stay.

You may have to board a cog train to its base. There are hundreds of steps from the base to the top. Things can now be done faster; thanks to the provision of escalators and elevations.

Copacabana
The Arpoador beach, which is highly favoured by surfers separate the Copacabana from Ipanema. There seems to always be a game of volleyball or soccer going in this part of Rio de Janeiro. It also has its fair share of hawkers with their wares on display in the most colourful of manners. Do you love fish with passion? There are loads of fishermen with their fresh fishes on display for anyone interested. Make sure you check out Fort Copacabana and especially its museum, which is open to the general public.

This is a special botanical garden in Rio de Janeiro. It was erected in the 1800s. There are at least 8000 plant species here, among which are about 600 orchid species.
